Has anyone ever used bamboo disposable plates/utensils? I am having a somewhat casual garden wedding (exactly a year from today! YAY!) and plan on doing a gourmet taco bar. All the caterers we are considering include your standard white disposable plates/utensils. I wanted to upgrade to something a little nicer looking, and rather then paying a company most likely far more to upgrade, I want to provide it myself. The reception will be in a beautiful all white garden house, so I think we can accomplish some pretty nice looking place settings with bamboo disposable ware, and some pops of color on the tables (flowers around the napkins/utensils etc). I also LOVE this idea of a DIY sprucing up to the utensils.Has anyone had any experience with this? Is it still tacky and cheap looking, or have you seen some nice place settings using this material? Supposively they are wayyy more durable then the thick white plates, but I really would love some first hand experience. I may even try to find a sample pack and have my FI and I do a taco night at home to really test it out!
Also, should I do the setting with one large dinner plate and one smaller salad plate? Or just one large dinner plate? I will be doing a cocktail hour with small plates for the snacks, so I wasn't sure if with dinner I should include yet another small plate. My inkling is yes, as some people will want a salad/nachos/salsa seperate from their taco/quesadilla or whatever else we are having.
I am all about eco-friendly so these are a great option for that reason too!
This is why we can't have nice things.
